Accommodation

1. Am o rezervare pe numele meu

   am o re-zer-VA-re pe NU-me-le meu

   I have a reservation in my name

   Usage

   Confirming a hotel reservation at check-in

   Grammar Note

   "pe numele meu" is the set phrase for "in my name". "nume" is a neuter noun, so the possessive takes the masculine/neuter form "meu".

2. Aș dori o cameră cu vedere la mare

   ash DO-ri o CA-me-ruh cu ve-DE-re la MA-re

   I would like a room with a sea view

   Usage

   Requesting a specific room type with a sea view

   Grammar Note

   "Aș dori" is the conditional of "a dori" (to wish). Polite form. "cameră" is feminine (indefinite "o").

3. La ce oră este check-in-ul?

   la che O-ruh ES-te check-in-ul

   What time is check-in?

   Usage

   Asking what time check-in begins at a hotel

   Grammar Note

   Even English loanword "check-in" takes the Romanian definite article suffix "-ul". The system applies to all nouns.

4. Camera nu are apă caldă

   CA-me-ra nu A-re A-puh KAL-duh

   The room does not have hot water

   Usage

   Reporting a room problem to the hotel front desk

   Grammar Note

   "apă caldă" = "warm/hot water". "caldă" is the feminine form of "cald" agreeing with "apă" (water, feminine).

   ash VREA suh pre-lun-JESC she-DE-rea

   I would like to extend my stay

   Usage

   Requesting to extend a hotel stay beyond the booked dates

   Grammar Note

   "prelungi" derives from "lung" (long). Prefix "pre-" intensifies. Means "to lengthen/extend".

6. Unde este recepția?

   UN-de ES-te re-CHEP-tsi-a

   Where is the reception?

   Usage

   Asking for the location of the hotel reception desk

   Usage

   a-VETS un SAYF în CA-me-ruh

   Do you have a safe in the room?

   I want to check out tomorrow

    Can you call a taxi?

    Usage

    Asking hotel staff to call a taxi
